Message Subject Moons crescent phase orientation tilts from 2:00 to 4:00 direction in just 2 hours
Poster Handle Hydra
Post Content
The lit portion of the moon tilts from 2 oclock when the sun is setting, pointing away from where the suns direction is coming from mind you, to 4 oclock where the sun then sets from our perspectivd after about 2 hours later.

Been seeing this happen consistently for several days now.

Can anybody explain this?

Search term of the day: moon field rotation

Thought this only applies to cameras with an az mount, whereas we can just easily turn our heads.

Did you turn your head during your observation in the way an EQ mount would turn?
Or stayed the horizon horizontal during your observation in the way an AZ mount would move?
